About Frank
Frank Centonze is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who centers his work on helping people manage anxiety and stress. He focuses on practical ways to reduce worry, improve communication, and regain a sense of direction. Frank aims to create a steady space where clients can talk through painful feelings like shame, guilt, and emptiness.
He uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based methods.
Background and approach
That often looks like learning tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, practicing skills to tolerate strong emotions, and clarifying personal values. Sessions move at a pace the client finds manageable and focus on real-world changes. Frank has 15 years of clinical experience working with concerns such as depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship strain.
He also offers support around caregiver stress, attachment challenges, fatherhood issues, and first responder stress. Those topics are approached with a focus on building coping skills and improving daily functioning. His style is client-centered, which means conversations are guided by the person sitting in the room.
Therapy is collaborative and practical, not a lecture. Clients set goals and try out new habits between sessions. Frank provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging for ongoing care.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Services are delivered in English and he practices in Texas.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Frank frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people accept difficult feelings while clarifying what matters most to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and issues tied to meaning or purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common method he uses; it focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may also be included to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills when strong emotions get in the way.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video is good for a full session with visual cues. Phone sessions can be a way to check in when hands-free time is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins, skill practice, or reaching out between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
